Topic: Murano S.V.C.C. ashtray (Read 1482 times)

2. Ashtray/bowl, UFO-shaped, green glass with brown/blue/dark green splashes, 20cm diameter, heavy. Has on bottom round blue/silver label "S.V.C.C. VETRI D'ARTE MURANO".I have just found out that this is the label of Flavio Poli's company after leaving Seguso in the sixties. Does this mean it is a Poli design? And when was it produced?

Not sure how that label got onto the second piece, but I wonder if it should be there. I know these ashtrays from Czech (Chrbska) production, never associated them with Italy - perhaps someone will jump on this with more accurate information.

The first piece looks like Exbor - another Czech vase.

Incidentally, you are kindly requested to present only one single piece per thread. If you have two, just start another thread. It helps to keep confusion at a minimum, makes searching easier, as well as the jobs of our moderators.

Hi Ivo,thank you for your suggestions!The label on the ashtray looks authentic, is old and has a lot of wear...I bought the piece on the fleamarket for little money about 10 years ago, so I doubt that someone placed it misguidingly (but who knows )Although there is very little information on SVCC on the web, I have seen some items with the same label , and to me they seemed of varying quality (one of them being a glass duck, I guess not Flavio Poli designed )

Mixing different IDs into the one thread won't confuse the moderators so much as the thread, and make also it difficult people searching for the thread in future. We can split this fairly easily into two threads, if that's okay with you.

Thank you all so much for your informations! Very interesting, keep going!Cathy -- you are very welcome to spilt this thread (espacially because the question about the vase seems to be solved :-) )

I bought the ashtray about 10 years ago on the fleamarket in Vienna. Part of the label is missing (unfortunately the important part ), so I was not able to identify it but few weeks ago when I did a search on the internet for "vetri d'arte murano made in italy", the readable part of the label. I found a thread in fossilfly forums where exactly the same label was depicted.

Here some pics...

I will post some other items (each its own thread ), I would be very interested to learn more about...
